UPDATE: Issues with 101 in Derbyshire have been ‘stabilised’

Engineers are currently on-site fixing the non-emergency 101 number in Derbyshire.

Derbyshire Constabulary is working hard to resolve the issues with its 101 non-emergency number.

The issues have been stabilised and engineers are currently on site working to resolve the problems that callers to the 101 number have been facing such as experiencing a delay in getting through to call handlers, or are being cut off during the conversation.

Assistant Chief Constable Chris Haward apologises to anyone affected by the issues. He said: “I would ask for your patience while we do everything we can to resolve the problem as quickly as possible.”
